'It's crazy': Hairdresser welcomes plan to scrap 'silly' regulations

A hairdresser says the industry has lots of 'silly little rules'.

Cabinet has agreed to all the Ministry for Regulation's recommendations - allowing drinks and dogs if businesses want them.

Rules about the spacing of chairs and how bright lights are will also be scrapped from July.

Hairdresser Hailey Ashton says she's always offered tea and coffee, but she might decline to invite the pooches.

"I've got clients I know are quite afraid of dogs - we've actually had someone bring their dog in, sit on their lap and then vomit all over our floor."
